As celebrations continue for the 125th anniversary of the granting of our Royal Charter, we are delighted to announce the full CILIP 125 List, and introduce the next generation of professionals who will help lead the sector into a new
age of information.
We asked our members and colleagues to nominate individuals within the profession to recognise and honour a new generation of librarians, information and knowledge management professionals who drive positive change, make a difference
and have an impact across all sectors.
Thank you for taking the time to nominate.
These 125 colleagues who come from all areas of the sector have been nominated for building positive relationships to support young people; for their work in supporting and nurturing colleagues who are new to the profession;
for campaigning for diversity and inclusivity; and for embracing new digital skills.
CILIP CEO, Nick Poole said:
As we face more change and opportunity in the coming years, navigating a rapidly evolving digital landscape, with the added challenges of censorship and disinformation, and an increasingly urgent need to live and work
in more sustainable ways, these 125 new professionals will be leading the way.
This is a set of passionate individuals, contributing energy, knowledge and impact to the institutions, organisations and communities they serve.
Over 125 years our members have seen advances in science and technology and played our part in research and development. We've experienced societal change and are working hard to combat a rise in disinformation.
We've lived through challenged economies, weathered a decline in funding whilst simultaneously fighting for social justice, offered spaces of sanctuary, warmth and safety to those who are displaced, challenged
by costs of living or seeking support and access to vital information in a neutral environment.
